NotesCharles Feola was born in Philippeville, Algeria in 1917 and died in France in 1994. Feola was painter, pupil and friend of Maurice Utrillo (1883-1955). Mobilized in Tunisia in the Second World War, Charles took part in the fighting against the Afrika Korps; he was taken prisoner and quickly released.
Feola eventually joined France and settled in Paris in 1942, more precisely in Montmartre. He attended several Parisian painting schools: the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in the Montparnasse district, the Frochot Academy in the Montmartre district, Lapeyre on the boulevard de Clichy. There he discovered the work of Fernand Herbo (1905-1995) who became his first Parisian master.
